We're not going to win many more games with this type of play from the offensive line.

It might be time to bump Barber to RT for a look. He played tackle in college. If it doesn't work like everything else, we know we can bump him back to guard where we know he can excel.

The Oline was"bandaid-ed" from the start. Retreads were expected to plug the gap until a permanent fix could be achieved. IMO we'd have been better off to go with all rookies.(Fano. Barber, Brailsford etc). I wonder what Eotab would have thought. Man, I miss that guy....

it's a bad situation for our OL where our two best players are the inexperienced rookies and the three bad ones are the vets. It's just a hodgepodge thrown together.

The guys they signed were always "Pass Strength" "Run weakness". None of this should come as a surprise except for the 8 sacks, which at least half of those were on Watson. This line does not have a move mountains attitude they need for the run game. If there isn't a sliver of a hole for the back, there isn't a sliver of hope. I don't need holes a bus can drive through, but when the majority of run plays there is a defender in the backfield to disrupt the play, you are going to struggle getting above 3 ypc.

It was a bad game in bad weather. I guess we should start praying for good weather for the rest of the year, since the prima donna doesn't seem to be able to play in inclement weather at his ripe old age of 31. His bones must have been aching from the dampness.

I have to say, this was a performance that, lucky for him, happened in New York. He probably mistook all the cheers when he made a bad play as, they love him there. If this happened in Cleveland, he might have hid in the blue tent until the press conference where he would have blamed the bad play on the decibel level of boos coming from the stands.

Take a look at the schedule after the bye week and to the end of the season. Every game is in a cold weather location.

Maybe we should take KT Leveston off our PC and put him at one of our OG positions. He's big 335 lbs., nasty and a pretty good run blocker. Unfortunately. he's not too good at pass blocking.

While I do not think Watson played great if his receivers do not have 5 drops his stat line would not look terrible. There were 5 credited drops including 2 by Bond that hit him in stride and could have easily resulted in big plays.

And of he didn't have three fumbles. And if he didn't hold the ball so long that it led to about half of those eight sacks and......

Neither are ours. I am willing to risk it. Bond should sit some more. Ratbirds will be a chore.

Bard, I looked up last year's stats on Bond. It said he only had 1 dropped pass and 18 receptions. He was targeted 44 times. So that works out to 5-6 drops for 100 receptions. I don't think that's too bad. The thing is his drops Sunday might have cost us the game so you can't blame everyone for dumping on him. I still feel he's worth keeping on the team and developing.
